Before the banquet was brought to a close Santa Claus paid a surprise visit and was his usual generous self with the dis- tribution of gifts.

A QUADRUPLE PRUBLEM FOR SANTA CLAUS! The Mahaney quadruplets--Lydia, Edna, John and Edith--are busy writing Santa Claus what to bring them this year.

TURKEYS ACCOMPANY CHRISTMAS TRAVELLERS Montreal.-- Overseas holiday travel is not the only Christmas traffic which flowed into the ports of Halifax and Saint John, according to officials of the Canadian Natjonal Railways, The travel is being accompanied by an important item in the Christ- mas cheer awaiting the arrival of the "home for Christmas" parties in the shape of large quantities of turkeys, mostly from Western Canada. This is a new traffic through the Atlantic rts of Canada. ing a song of Christmas; Pochet full of rye; European fringilloids Brought for you to buy.

Nor can he hope old age to beat. --Little Joe Otter. ; Sleek, smooth, rolling through the water in line, one behind an- other, Mrs. Otter and her two children, the family of Little Joe 'Otter, swam into the Smiling Pool where the Laughing Brook leaves it on its way to the Big River. Straight to the Big Rock on which Little Joe: Otter himself was sitting as he talked with Jer- ry Muskrat, they swam and climb- ed up. Jerry somewhat hastily dived and then floated halfwhy between the Big Rock and the bank. "What 1s y6éur hurry?" de- manded Little Joe. "You aren't afraid, are you?" "No-0. Of course not," replied Jerry, trying to make his volce sound bold and convincing 'and failing utterly because, you know, his voice is squeaky at best. "It just struck me that the Big Rock would be a bit crowded. "How do you do, Mrs. Otter?" . Mrs. Otter gtopped to touch her nose to the nose of Liftle Joe. Each of the young Otters did the same thing. Then Mrs. Otfer look- ed down at Jerry. "I'm very well, thank you. I hope you are the same," said she. "You look as young as ever," declared Jerry, trying to be gal- lant. "You don't {ook a day older than your childrey," "I don't feel ang older," de- | clared Mrs, Otter. "Why. should I? I enjoy a good romp and slide ag much as they do?" "Do you mean to say that you still go sliding," demanded Jerry. "Of course. Why not? Little Joe slides with us, It is geat fun. I tell you what, we'll stay around here for a while and make a slip- pery 'slide. Then you can join us," replied Mrs, Otter. "No, thanks. I've gomething better to do with my time than to spend it in any such silly way," retorted Jerry. Little Joe Otter shook his head "You're getting old, Jerry," said he. "If you had a slippery slide and used it every day just for fun, you would keep young. I hope I'll never grow too old to enjoy a romp and good time." "I don't believe you ever will," declared Mrs. Otter. "What do you say, my dear, to starting a Canadian National Express these days for they recently brought from Europe 10,000 fringilloids to brighten the Yuletide season. What is a fringillodi, anyway? Ob, it's just a high-brow name thought up in Latin by ornitho- logists for a pretty bird, some- what resembling a canary, such as a goldfinch, bullfinch and even an ordinary finch, slippery slide over on that bank where it is stcepest? It looks like a good place to me." "It is, my dear. I had a slide thére once long ago, before I Met you," replied Little Joe. "We'll go over and have a look at the old place. Come on!" No second invitation was geed- ed, It was a question of who was in the water first and the 'two young Otters, who would soon be as biz as 'thelr parents, were right at their tails. How they could shoot through the water! Jerry Muskrat wouldn't have ad- mitted it but he did envy them their ability to swim, They scrambled out where the bank was low and hurried to the steepest part. "Here is where my old slide used to be," said Little oe. "There are some sticks and a stone or two In the way, We'll have to get rid of those," .sald Mrs. Otter, and carefully working down the steep bank, picked up one of the sticks and carried {t off to one side. In a jiffy the ofh- erg were helping, "One would think they - were doing something important and worth while," muttered Jerry Muskrat as he watched them, Truth to tell, Jerry was not at all pleased at the coming of Ittle Joe and his family. He foresaw that the Smiling Pool would no longer be the quiet, peaceful place he loved while the Otter family remained. "Here we go!" cried Little Joe and pushing himself from the top of the bank with his hindfeet, slid p'op into the water. He didn't go very fast, for there was too much grass, and the glide was not slippery. Mrs. Otter followed him and then the ehildren, one right at the heels of the other. Plop, plop, plop they went into the wa- ter. And that was the beginning of lively times at the Smiling Pool. (Copyright, 1932, by T. W. Burgess) Christmas .

The Little Old Lady of Oslo Oslo, Norway.--~We are all in} curable optimists and sentimens talists at heart, And no one so much as the stern cynie is sus- ceptible to a Polyanna smile. Therefore, it is undeniably grati- fying to hear of the Poor Old Lady of Oslo, who found out the other day that, after all, there really is such a thing as grati- tude left in the world. < There appeared one day in her humble dwelling, a gentleman of somewhat sober 4nd forbidding appearance, who asked her so many ' questions that she could not help feeling terrified. He wanted to know her exact name and the names of her forebears, her situation and the state of her fortunes. However, she was a cheery little old lady and, having a good conscience, she gave all the required data without worry- ing about the outcome. ALFONSO'S TOYS ARE CONFISCATED Ex-Monarchs Playthings to Be Distributed to Poor Madrid. -- With bland insous- clance, Alfonso, he of the Bour- bon nose and Hapsburg lip, has been trapsing around Europe like the travelling sunny-boy of roy- alist good-will. having cached several millions here and a few millions there, Nevertheless, safely and discreetly there is certainly nothing to dissipate the fact that Kreuger and Insull had nothing on him, Monarchs accustomed to put- ting away their kale at the ex- pense of their devoted subjects, besides guffering from megalo- mania, seem to have a penchant for children's playthings. Like the ill-fated Czar Nicholas, they are generally fond of escaping from the heavy burden of affairs of state by daily devoting several hours' playtime to their children.

The lawyer ex- plained: ; Twenty-five years ago, in the streets of Christiania (now Oslo), his client had been knocked down and severely injured by a run- away horse and carriage. She, the old lady of 1932, had been stand- ing near by, seen the accident and rushed to his ald. As it hap- pened there was mot a soul in sight to whom to appeal, The p= jured man was lying unconsei- ous with an ugly gash in his throat and the blood flowing freely. Without a moment's hesitation she had slipped off her white pet- ticoat, torn it into strips, bound up his throat and stopped the bleeding. Without her wonderful} presence of mind and unhesitating first aid, the wounded man would have bled to death. And now, 26 years later, when making his last will and testament, he had nz wished to forget his friend in need and the rescuer to whom hy owed his very life.
